u can try tellin' the dealer that u hear some noise from suspension or car does not go straight or something and ask for alignment done... but not sure if they'll bite after seein' rims and drop...
my service A is coming up and my alignment needs to be done next month... might just give it a try at the dealer first...

how often should a wheel alignment be done. i just had my tires rotated 2 days ago and was thinking on a wheel alignment as wheel. my car doesn't seem to pull, but is there are frequency to how often this should be done as preventive maintenance.

Whenever you replace the tires, a complete wheel alignment is in the cards. Otherwise, in the absence of symptoms, I believe in leaving well enough alone.
However, any BIG IMPACT should result in a visit to the alignment rack - heavy curb hit, striking something big on the road. etc. If it was enough to really shake you up in the cabin, it was also probably enough to affect alignment, as well.
